The Rowdy Rudy Show
Premiering in January 1956, the series was often criticised for being “too rowdy”, which was toned down a few months later after the PBC decided to market the series towards preschool audiences for undisclosed reasons.

The series was presented by “Rowdy” Rudy Moore, a ventriloquist dummy, who made multiple on Novella from 1951 to 1955.
